EJBF: Courtney Pine – Tradition In Transition
2 August 2009 at 8:00pmat The Queen's Hall
The master saxophonist and torch-holder for Jazz in Britain brings his latest project to the Festival.
A creole gumbo of Caribbean, Latin and African flavours, "Tradition In Transition" is Pine’s personal homage to the New Orleans clarinet/soprano sax maestro, Sidney Bechet. An exceptional band includes Cuban jazz violinist, Omar Puente and the brilliant salsa/latin pianist, Alex Wilson.
"Laden with memorable melodies, this is his best album since his 1986 debut" (The Observer)
"Pine is superb" (The Guardian)
